For those not wanting this new DRM update, that might drop.

[[VI] Benjamin Zuriel]

Go into the Steam folder where you have Monster Hunter World installed. Either it's through the main route of Steam or on another hard drive, through the Steam-library folder. ?:\SteamLibrary\steamapps or ?:\Steam\steamapps.

Right-click on appmanifest_582010 click on properties and set it to read-only, hit apply, hit OK and this will deny Steam from updating the manifest to download the new update.

The issues that might come with this, you might not be able to connect to the servers, and you won't be able to join other random players if they have downloaded the update.

If you want to re-allow the download just untick read-only.

This DRM is completely unknown to my knowledge, and what they are doing is completely unnecessary when in actuality, the point is they don't care about cheaters. It's all about making more money off the player base.

As much as bad as some of Bethesda's games are, the only reason Skyrim is still so popular to date now, is due to its insane modding scene, not to mention its hype back in the day, heck they tried profiting off modders!

EDIT: Make sure to backup the file, so if the read-only gets bypassed you'll be able to get past the update requirement by copying it over the new manifest.

Also, turn off automatic updates. If you want to take it further, backup the EXE in the games folder, as per the usual DRMs installed through the EXE.

Yeah i remember i've read that thing about RE5 and no one reported anything weird like Virus etc etc. So, why so much hate now? it's really weird in my opinion.

Because they're silently adding it to all their games, and the patch that they added with RE revelations had fps loss or something, so people noticed.

tell me about RE5.

the mod to people remove enigma drm in the game

literally nothing besides not being compatible with the steam deck and iirc that should have been fixed with todays update. Modders already debunked it being an issue for file drop type of mods, but it's more anti-reverse-engineering for some of the game code...basically trainers and cheat engine users. RE5 got it a year or two ago....no issues there at all. It's all anti-drm rage bait

Yeah i remember i've read that thing about RE5 and no one reported anything weird like Virus etc etc. So, why so much hate now? it's really weird in my opinion.

Because they're adding NEW fairly unknown drm to an OLD game with the intention of preventing mods or "cheats" as they put it.

I don't mind Denuvo put in to protect *new* games and have "shilled" for it according to differing points of views but adding new drm to old games long past any meaningful active development is a terrible joke and no developer/publisher should be doing it and any consumer should be against it. Adding anti-cheat to competitive multiplayer games later is understandable and that is not what I'm talking about.

^ Denuvo is an entirely different beast and I didn't buy this game until I learned Denuvo was removed from it.

The only positive thing about denuvo to me... by the time they remove it, I can buy the game for $10

stop defending it, they didn't announce it for resident evil 5, and barely anyone knew they were slipping it in their games.

it's just DRM is hate hype is easy to get rolling without context to the situation. So far only legitimate issue i have seen the steam deck being unable to even open the game.

im not defending anything here. I just write the truth about this ""new"" DRM.
it's an old DRM added to replace Denuvo nothing more and nothing less. Do you know the fun thing? Mods are working. Do you like to think it's a super mega Malware? You can but this is not the truth. :D

Did you really know about it until all this drama starting with the numerous issues when they injected into Resident Evil? Denuvo is far more "trusted" or at least tolerated and has an anti-cheat option and they already deal with Denuvo so they could've just started implementing Denuvo Anti-Cheat to "protect" their precious microtransactions.

Like I said I'd totally understand them wanting to protect MH: Wilds because that is 100% going to be a live service driven by a cash shop and battle passes but there is no reason at all for them to be changing anything about MHW and MHR. I don't know if they're actually sticking with Engima and using these old games to see what it can and can't do or if they just panicked and looked for a quick and cheap "solution" to "cheating" but either way this should not have been done to these old games and just looks like Capcom is trying to wage a war against mods which benefits no one.

Nobody knows the reason why capcom put it in, they haven't said anything. It doesn't work and it just causes possible negative effects and nobody consented to it. Possible security risk, the company is shady without much info, it's cheap 400 dollars. Do you have proof it will have no negative effects? Did you agree to it when you bought the game? You want worse stuff in the future, and more bad stuff slipped in your old games, or bs like 2k did by adding a launcher in all their old games? (pretty sure they did, i'm not going to fact check that)

Thanks for reminding me about that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, broke their respective games for a bit too. but luckily Civ 5 has a built in legacy launcher option if you know where to look to get around it and XCOM 2's community mod loader bypasses it.

Yeah it's good if you can bypass the stuff, but paying customers having to get around their stupid decisions is just bad.

They are testing it for the future? Yes, and we are the beta testers as always. Every SH right now using us to test their games but people understand this thing only in 2024.
Capcom already lost this war because Enigma it's already cracked and mods are working. It's useless for us doing a war based on nothing but this is just my opinion.

I didn't ask for a refund or say i'm scared, i'm saying its bs. If you don't want to complain then don't, but you don't have to be capcoms body guard.
